"This is our first holiday with our two beagles Alfie and Jasper who are 3 years old and we would like to thank you for making them so welcome. The house was perfect and we knew they were safe. Our teenage son and his friend appreciated the lovely cake in the welcome pack as they were very hungry when we arrived. The house was perfect with everything we could want as well as being to a very high standard. We thoroughly enjoyed the beaches which are beautiful and perfect for the dogs and body boarding!!. Bamburgh and Alnwick are beautiful. Thank you once again for a lovely week. |

| What a lovely base for a few days away - very comfortable and really well equipped. Not enough time to do all the things we wanted to - the weather has been so glorious that we have wild away hours at the rock pools at Seahouses and the beach at Bamburgh. Had a lovely visit to Alnwick Gardens with a fantastic puppet workshop for children. Had fantastic Fish & Chips from Pinnacles, and lovely fish from the Smoke House in Seahouses. Ate at The Links Hotel, but not sure we would recommend it entirely. Huge portions but slightly unusual service. But a lovely stay, and a lovely break - do hope to return. |

| Had a most enjoyable stay, the house exceptionally nice and comfortable. nice food at the pub across the road and very friendly. Plenty to do and see, Cragside is well worth a visit at this time of the year the Rhododendron's are beautiful. Plenty of places to visit Bamburgh, Lindisfarne, Wallington Hall and Gardens and plenty to see in Alnwick where there is a Morrison's Supermarket. Hopefully we will be back again and recommend all our friends in Hull and Middlesborough. Plenty of walks for the dog. Thank you |

| We had a really fun time here doing lots of things going to places like Bamburgh Castle and Alnwick. The beds were really comfortable, the underfloor heating was brilliant and the American Fridge was out of this world. We went to a lovely bar and restaurant called The Links Hotel the food was amazing but it gets you really full. Thank you all |

| And "they" said it was going to rain all week =, oh how wrong "they" were. Sunshine all week lovely walks on the beach. Day out at Eyemouth across the boarders. Quayside at Amble great Fish and Chips and a wonderful dressed crab from the seafood shop. Nice piece of steak from the butchers at the end of the road - also great steak pie, pork pies and sausage rolls. Mowick ice cream is the best (head towards Warkwarth and Amble then follow brown signs. |

| Has been an excellent break in Northumbria in no small part due to this very attractive house. The weather has been good, the walking good, the sites interesting and the people friendly and the long sandy beaches, in many places almost deserted. Lots of bird song everywhere we walked. Sad to be leaving.
P.S. Thank you for the cake, bread, lemon curd, tea, coffee ect - lovely touch and very welcoming great information books and maps.
